Scores of tenants were forced to evacuate from an eight-story building on Surasak Road in Bangkok’s Bangrak district this morning, after a fire broke out in its underground parking lot.

Thick smoke rose through the building and was visible from outside.

The building’s website indicates that the lower floors are used as offices, while higher floors serve as residences.

An initial investigation suggests that the blaze may have been caused by electric vehicles parked in the underground lot.

At press time, firefighters and rescue workers were still working to control the fire, while tenants gathered around the area.

The number of vehicles damaged by the fire is still unknown, as firefighters must fully extinguish the blaze before they can gain access to the affected floors.

Nothing about 'Spontaneous' in the article.

Possibly a short circuit, but even then thats not spontaneous.

Whether the new thisis still prevalent as it goes back to Jan of 2024 the UK gov't back then branded UPP triangular batteries as dangerous, it had found at least twenty listings of the U004/U004-1 battery packs for sale on popular market places. The batteries were said to suffer from thermal runaway .

As we know a lot of these triangle bag batteries are bodged on to bikes dangling from the top bar in the bikes traingle, most will be associated with 1kw illegal mopeds.
